イザヤ書 62:9-12 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 62:6-9

Two things are here promised to Jerusalem:? I. Plenty of the means of grace?abundance of good preaching and good praying (Isa. 62:6, 7), and this shows the method God takes when he designs mercy for a people; he first brings them to their duty and pours out a spirit of prayer upon them, and then brings salvation to them. Provision is made, 1. That ministers may do their duty as watchmen. It is here spoken of as a token for good, as a step towards further mercy and an earnest of it, that, in... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 62:10-12

This, as many like passages before, refers to the deliverance of the Jews out of Babylon, and, under the type and figure of that, to the great redemption wrought out by Jesus Christ, and the proclaiming of gospel grace and liberty through him. 1. Way shall be made for this salvation; all difficulties shall be removed, and whatever might obstruct it shall be taken out of the way, Isa. 62:10. The gates of Babylon shall be thrown open, that they may with freedom go through them; the way from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:9

But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord ,.... That is, the corn; they who have manured the land, sowed seed in it, reaped it when ripe, gathered it in its season; these shall eat the fruit of their labours, and praise the Lord for it, acknowledge his bounty and goodness to them; for notwithstanding all the diligence, industry, and labour of men, it is through the blessing of the Lord, and owing to his favour, that they have bread, and a sufficiency of it, to eat;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:10

Go through, go through the gates ,.... Open them, and keep them open for persons to enter in; meaning not the gates of Jerusalem, which those in it should open for the reception of the Jews returning from Babylon, though there may be an allusion to it; but the gates of the church in the latter day, which shall stand open night and day, that converts, who shall flock unto it, may enter in thereat, whether Jews or Gentiles; see Isaiah 26:1 , prepare you the way of the people; cast up,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:11

Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world ,.... This is not to be interpreted of the proclamation by Cyrus, giving liberty to the people of the Jews to return to their own land, for that did not reach to the end of the world; but of the proclamation of the Gospel, which, as when first published, the sound of it went into all the earth, and the words of it to the ends of the world, Romans 10:18 . So it will be in the latter day, when it shall be preached to all nations,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:12

And they shall call them the holy people ,.... For whom the way is prepared, to whom the standard is lifted up, and the proclamation made, and who upon it are gathered in to Christ the Saviour, and to the church: these shall be called, by men that know them, have a spirit of discerning, and are capable of judging, "the holy people"; a people separated and set apart for God, for his service and glory; chosen to be a special people, above all the people of the earth; chosen through... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:9

But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord - This and the following line have reference to the law of Moses: "Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil; but thou must eat them before the Lord thy God, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose," Deuteronomy 12:17 , Deuteronomy 12:18 . "And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:10

Of the people "For the people" - Before the word העם haam , the people, two MSS. insert יהוה Yehovah ; one MS. adds the same word after; and eight MSS., three ancient, instead of העם haam , have יהוה Yehovah , and so likewise one edition. But though it makes a good sense either way, I believe it to be an interpolation, as the ancient Versions do not favor it. The Septuagint indeed read עמי ammi , my people. - L. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:11

Unto the end of the world - הארץ קצה אל el ketseh haarets - Instead of אל el , to, עד ad , Unto, is the reading of two of Kennicott's MSS.; and one of mine has מקצה mikketseh , "From the end of the earth." Behold, thy salvation cometh "Lo, thy Savior cometh" - So all the ancient Versions render the word ישעך yishech . Behold, his reward - See note on Isaiah 40:10 , Isaiah 40:11 . This reward he carries as it were in his hand. His work is before him - he... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:12

They shall call them - These characteristics seem to be put in their inverted order. - God will not forsake them. They shall be sought out. They shall be redeemed. And, Be in consequence a holy people. 1. When God calls, it is a proof that he has not forsaken. 2. When he seeks, it is a proof he is waiting to be gracious. 3. When the atonement is exhibited, all things are then ready. 4. And when that is received, holiness of heart and life is then to be kept continually in... read more
